Dr. Atena

I’ve had the pleasure of studying Persian with Atena for a year now. She is a truly exceptional language instructor! Knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely caring. Her lessons are beautifully structured – combining engaging texts, practical exercises, role-playing, and grammar instruction – making each session effective and fun. She creates a warm, encouraging space, is patient, and corrects mistakes gently. Thanks to her expertise, dedication, and supportive feedback, my language skills have improved significantly. I am so glad to be on this learning journey with Atena and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Atena is a patient, highly skilled treasure of the Persian language. She always makes learning an exciting and wondrous journey and I look forward to many more lessons with her! I love the variety of materials she uses and it is all so enriching. Thank you for everything!

For nearly two years, I have been taking Persian lessons with Dr. Atena. She has made a tremendous contribution to my learning of the Persian language, as well as Persian culture and literature. With her teaching techniques, patience, knowledge, and the materials she prepares for the lessons, each class is both highly productive and very enjoyable. Thank you very much for everything.

Her remarkable skills, dedication, and passion make Farsi learning both enjoyable & effective. What truly stands out is her remarkable patience, allowing me to learn at my own pace. Under her guidance, I’m gaining proficiency & improving my communication skills significantly. Her classes are not just informative; they’re a delightful adventure in the world of language, and I’m thrilled to continue learning from her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding language education.

My mind was on other matters today and I really wasn’t in the mood to study. But I’m glad I did because DrAtena is always understanding and gently encourages me to do better.

After internal difficulties in Iran I was so relieved that Dr Atena and her family are safe. I took a long break and much to my dismay had forgotten much of my Persian. But Hey the journey is fun and I'm glad to be back. Likewise I'm sure Dr Atena is glad to be back.
